How to set up a new build slave

Execute the following steps on the slave machine. Note that the Hudson server must be able to ssh to the build slave

Create a new user to run the builds as. For example the new user "hudson" on Linux:

sudo useradd -c "Hudson" -d /home/hudson -m -s /bin/bash hudson

To create a new user on Solaris

pfexec useradd -c "Hudson" -d /export/home/hudson -g staff -s /bin/bash -P "Primary Administrator" -A "solaris.*" hudson

Create a keyed authentication for the hudson user, creating $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

su - hudson
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEArULdwPmFGIDRDun6Ys6XFWU1XK9XWwOxKfKabzwpzAllLwOgpqVDX0GmKp0uIZU/ruMIrPq8+9XoZyA7Xp+8npi/lNlLWGI76iDifeA7KU960fSk7zoioYoOQBtymgBap2/Duul2H+etZtPXwgf0lfU5iAwoo2FOFlWGMlBvxAs= Hudson running on hudson.drizzle.org" > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Make sure all build dependencies are installed
Make sure Java is installed and in your path
Send email to drizzle-builds@lists.launchpad.net with the user name and hostname.
Also indicate if you want to be included on email notifications for build failures.
The drizzle team will then take care of the steps outlined below.

Adding a node and job to the Drizzle infrastructure

Log into hudson.drizzle.org and change user to hudson.
Execute the following command, and verify that it works without typing any passwords (if you are prompted for a password you need to look at your client to figure out why...)

ssh username@machinename ls

Give the node a name, select "Copy from existing node" and tell it to copy from Drizzle-orisndriz01.
Change the description, and possibly the remote FS root.
Make sure the launch method is "Launch slave agents on Unix machines via SSH"
Click the Advanced button
Make sure /var/lib/hudson/.ssh/id_rsa is in the Private Key file slot, and ensure that the other values are correct.
You can now define a new build job, and tie it to this node :-)

How to restart Hudson

First, in hudson, go to "Manage Hudson" and select "Prepare for Shutdown". This will prevent hudson from starting any new builds.

Wait for hudson to finish any outstanding builds.

On hudson.drizzle.org, execute:

sudo /etc/init.d/hudson restart

Hudson log is in /var/log/hudson/hudson.log

Basic configuration starts from /etc/default/hudson, which should show where everything goes.

Upgrading Hudson

At http://hudson.drizzle.org/manage select "Prepare for Shutdown" and wait for all Hudson jobs to complete
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --dry-run install hudson (to see what will be upgraded)
sudo apt-get install hudson
